Paragraph Number

384

In one embodiment, the length 2330 is patient-specific and may be determined prior to fabricating the positioning guide 2300. In one embodiment, the length 2330 is a predetermined length based on a bone model (e.g., a model of a calcaneus 224). The predetermined length may be set or defined to permit a user such as a surgeon to rotate a first bone fragment (e.g., posterior bone fragment 2114) relative to a second bone fragment (e.g., anterior bone fragment 2116). In certain embodiments, a prescription may include a number of degrees of rotation a surgeon desires for a posterior bone fragment 2114 and a system or apparatus may translate that number of degrees into the predetermined length for the length 2330.
